CATALONIA --- Catalan National Assembly

Catalan National Assembly:

 Today the ANC is a fundamental tool of the new political process, partly thanks to the Catalan assembly tradition, which has always been inclusive and civic: the Catalan sovereignty movement is open to all, regardless of people’s birthplace, culture or mother language.

Although the Assembly is a new platform, it has deep roots. One of its most obvious precursors was the Assemblea de Catalunya (Assembly of Catalonia), a unitary movement that brought together all the country’s democratic groups towards the end of the Franco dictatorship, with the goal of restoring the national and social liberties that the dictatorship had tried to suppress for ever.
